Best Takeout Menu, Best Vegetarian, Best Vegan
Ziggy's
Ziggy's serves burgers, tacos, cheesy fries, breakfast burritos, and taquitos, but with an important twist: Every item is vegan. People can enjoy the luxury of chomping into a taco that is filling and full of flavor, without straying from their dietary needs. The takeout-only style restaurant began with the mission of making food for everyone—not just vegans. "We just wanted to make good food that happens to be less impactful for the environment," according to its mission statement. Ziggy's takeout system allows everyone to enjoy its food in the peace and quiet of their own home, and its diverse menu will suit anyone's needs—whether ordering from the Paso Robles or San Luis Obispo locations.

Best Family Meal, Best Salad
Firestone Grill
What makes Firestone Grill a great spot for families and large groups to gather over some grub comes down to a combination of the venue's casual atmosphere and shareable dishes. There are plenty of ways to bond with loved ones at a dinner table, but sharing a basket of Firestone's perfectly seasoned fries with a couple sides of ranch is tough to beat. Firestone's onion rings are perfect for sharing as well, and taste divine—it's no wonder why they're the same shape as angel halos. If sharing food with family members isn't exactly your cup of tea, there are plenty of solo options—for adults and kids alike—to indulge in. Hot dogs and burgers and salad—oh my!

Best Indian Food
Shalimar
Believe me, your local Indian, that Shalimar offers the best Indian and Pakistani fare in San Luis Obispo. Don't turn up wearing anything with buttons because they will pop thanks to Shalimar's generous lunch and dinner buffets at no more than $15 a person. You can't take your leftovers home, so simmer in your seat, and tuck in to the crispiest catfish fritters, the light but warming lamb curry, and saag (creamy spinach), among a cornucopia of options. Don't forget the kheer (rice pudding) for a sweet treat, and stick around for seconds ... and thirds.

Best Japanese Food, Best Sushi
Goshi
Whether you're in Paso Robles enjoying wine country for the day, or walking through downtown San Luis Obispo, Goshi Sushi and Japanese restaurant provides rich and authentic cuisine. The menu offers an extensive array of options with fresh ingredients to satisfy every palate. Its menu includes specialty rolls, nigiri, rice and noodle bowls, and tempura among many other specialties. Come sip some sake or a Japanese beer and enjoy this "secret spot" of Japanese cuisine (maybe it's not so secret anymore).
